A samaritan state revisited : historical perspectives on Canadian foreign aid
\"Canada's foreign aid programs are an area of ongoing interest, yet there is little knowledge of Canada's 70-year aid history, the historic forces that have shaped Canadian aid policy, and the many complex factors that affect Canada's future foreign aid policy. \"A Samaritan State Revisited\" brings together a refreshing group of emerging and leading scholars to reflect on the history of Canada's overseas development aid. Addressing the broad ideological and institutional origins of Canada's official development assistance in the 1950s and specific themes in its evolution and professionalization since the 1960s, this collection is the first to explore Canada's history with foreign aid with this level of interrogative detail. Extending from the 1950s to the present and covering Canadian aid to all regions of the Global South, from South and Southeast Asia to Latin America and Africa, these essays embrace a variety of approaches and methodologies ranging from traditional, archival-based research to textual and image analysis, oral history, and administrative studies. \"A Samaritan State Revisited\" weaves together a unique synthesis of governmental and non-governmental perspectives, providing a clear and readily accessible explanation of the forces that have shaped Canadian foreign aid policy\"-- Provided by publisher.

Bootstraps need boots : one Tory's lonely fight to end poverty in Canada
\"For more than four decades, Hugh Segal has been one of the leading voices of progressive conservatism in Canada. A self-described Red Tory warrior who disdained \"boot strap\" approaches to poverty, he has always promoted policies, especially a basic annual income, to help the most economically vulnerable. Why would a life-long Tory support something so radical? In this revealing memoir, Segal shares how his life and experiences brought him to this most unlikely of places, beginning with his childhood in a poor immigrant family in Montreal to his time as a chief of staff for Prime Minister Mulroney and to his more recent work as an advisor on basic income for the Ontario Liberal government. This book is a passionate argument for why a basic annual income makes economic sense - and for why it is the right thing to do.\"-- Provided by publisher.
